Jeff Thompson: We may reach 80 next week

There are magic temperatures in meteorology, in my experience. These are values that really hit home with people.

The freezing mark in autumn is certainly one, especially for gardeners. Zero in winter can be another, although 5 degrees isn't much more tropical. The century mark is a prime example. It's funny how many golfers you see on the course when the mercury is in the upper 90s, but when it hits triple digits, you will likely have the course to yourself.

One of these magic numbers is in our forecast next week. High pressure will give us our first shot at 80 in 2013, a temperature Reno has not hit since Oct. 19. For many Nevadans, 80 means spring.

First things first. A passing system will slow the warming a bit today and keep a few clouds in the picture.
